The New Media has been doing some investigative reporting on this sorry situation. For example, within a short span of time, identified the complete cast of Tony’s tweeters, including porn star Ginger Lee.

Blogger Lee Stranahan had a pithy remark regarding the reporting about Weiner-gate: Would the average spouse just let it go right there? No? Then neither should the average reporter. If ‘benefit of the doubt’ isn’t good enough for the person you’re married to, then it’s not good enough for the practice of journalism. And by not acting as curious as a spouse – usually because of ideological agreement with the subject of inquiry – reporters aren’t doing their jobs.

Palin: She is so clean that the elite media has to fabricate scandals. Weiner: The Democratic champion is caught in a compromising situation, and the same elite media is myth-making about some evil conservative blogger trying to take him down.

Is there no professional reporter out there today who isn’t embarrassed by this type of coverage? Have you no pride? Do you really want to “change the world” by smearing innocents and protecting cheaters?

As conservatives are trying to change the country and impact the 2012 election, I have this one piece of advice: You better have a game plan on working around the elite media. They cannot be trusted to cover any story involving politicians or political issues truthfully.

The establishment American press has completely abrogated its First Amendment responsibilities. Instead of a “watch dog”, it has become a “love puppy” to one side of the political spectrum.

This country was designed to function under the direction of a fully informed citizenry. Plainly, the establishment media cannot be trusted to provide unvarnished facts, data, and analysis necessary to do so. Americans need to plan getting their information elsewhere if we are going to make the best possible choices in 2012.

The Palin hate-fest will continue in the old MSM until they make her irrelevant, destroy her or they become irrelevant. Nixon beat them, for a while; perhaps Sarah ought to read his playbook for tips on how to keep ahead of them 9and how not to self-destruct, too).

During this next year, the blatant lack of objective journalism will crescendo into the complete proliferation of the fact that YOU CANNOT TRUST THE MAINSTREAM NEWS.

Even my most left wing friends and family currently question what they are being told and are seeking new sources of information. The internet has spurious information, but at least the full story is to be found.

We are going to have to start framing the facts for 20-somethings who have grown up without a trusted news source. We are completely offended at the changes we have seen in our lifetimes, but young adults will not understand our anger at the issue. Simply stating that “left-wing bias” and “mainstream media is corrupt” is no longer a news story, it is accepted fact.

I am not sure how to become less passionate about this issue. It offends me to the core. It is Orwellian propaganda in my eyes, but we must. Maybe we need a twelve step program.

In related news, Vlad Putin is saying the IMF guy was framed. There is something to be learned from old Vlad; not in what he says but in why he says it. My take is that he is attempting to create doubt and additional instability in financial markets. Such instability is good for Russia by pushing up gold and oil prices. More importantly, every dollar that gold and oil increase is an international condemnation of U.S. leadership and policy.

Our goals are diametrically opposed, however Vlad’s measured and considered tactic is ignored at our own peril. It is clear that the only people pursuing facts are people like San Diego’s Local Order of Bloggers. We can only hope that the ring of truth is being heard by enough people to make a difference.

Followed you here from Daily Caller. As much as I hate people spamming other website comments sections with their own blog, (not that you “spammed”), I liked the way your comment was clear, factual and concise …. so I followed. Glad I did.

Good article – well resourced and researched.

Weiner — what a weener, eh? The fact that this otherwise preening jacka(( hasn’t been on every news outlet attempting to draw attention to himself says alot about his guilt. Oh, he tweeted the P-bomb alright and that 3 hours of previous silence in his twitter feed? lots and lots of juicy DM’n going on, I bet.
